Ryan Smith first tabled the $1B offer for the franchise sometime after the calendar flipped to 2024; that plus the relocation fee will bring the total around the $1.2B-$1.3B range. The 31 other clubs will split the relocation revenue that Smith will pay. (Edited for clarity).
Looking for the place in the rule book where it says it's not a penalty if this happens.
Can't find it. If anyone can and I'm wrong, please let me know.
Otherwise I'm not buying this.
The Islanders need offense. They are opening a new stadium. Their window with this group is closing. I can not believe they got out-bid by CBJ. I am not the biggest believer in Johnny Hockey but he made SO MUCH sense for them specifically.
